I have heard that only novice or unserious photographers result to humorous framing when creating a photo but come on, I’m not made of stone.
The sculpture, Coast Salish North Star is by local Indigenous artist Wade Baker, and it was unveiled in 2009 before the 2010 Olympic Games. There are a number of public art pieces still in place, but they are overshadowed by those gigantic birds on the plaza. I’ve never done a survey but I suspect visitors and tourists like the birds more than the people who live here.
